1936 Studebaker

1936 Studebaker -Ruth Olsen

Almer Olsen

Here is yet another family photo taken in the summer of
1943. Featured here is Ruth Rector Olsen holding her oldest
daughter Eunice Olsen Bullis (oldest of 5 Olsen children),
and standing with Her mother in law, Mrs. Olsen. This photo
was likely taken near Molalla, Oregon, where the senior
Olsens lived. The auto is a 1936 Studebaker. The owner,
Almer Olsen, got many good years of service out of this
vehicle. He traded a Chevy in to get it, and said that the
difference was amazing. The Chevy was fully deserving, he
said, of the nickname 'shove it or leave it', often
applied to Chevrolets.

Featured to the right is Almer Olsen, husband of Ruth
Rector Olsen, who together are the parents Lois Olsen
VanNatta (1945-2010) their 3d daughter.
